1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Identifying thermodynamically stable crystal structures remains a key challenge in materials chemistry. Computational crystal structure prediction (CSP) workflows typically rank candidate structures by lattice energy to assess relative stability. Approaches using self-consistent first-principles calculations become prohibitively expensive, especially when millions of energy evaluations are required for complex molecular systems with many atoms per unit cell. Here, we provide a detailed analysis of our methodology and results from the seventh blind test of crystal structure prediction organized by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). We present an approach that significantly accelerates CSP by training target-specific machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs). AIMNet2 MLIPs are trained on density functional theory (DFT) calculations of molecular clusters, herein referred to as
